MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                 1365

(4) QUEEN ANNE'S COUNTY: PROSPECT BAY,

AND IN THE WATERS OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY ADJACENT TO
POPLAR ISLAND.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is primarily new
language derived from two sections of
Article 66C, which contain provisions
prohibiting duck blinds in certain areas.
The initial prohibitory clause is derived
from the first clause of Article 66c,
section 156(a) and the last paragraph of
section 156(b). The verb "maintain" is
added in light of its usage in section
157(c), (d) , and (e) .

Paragraph (1) is derived from the last
paragraph of section 156(b). Paragraph (2)
is derived from the provisions of section
157(a) as amended by Chapter 849, H.B.
1188, Acts of 1973 which relate to
Dorchester County, and section 157(c) and
(d). Paragraph (3) presently appears as
Article 66C, section 156(a) of the Code.
Paragraph (4) is derived from similar
provisions of section 157(a), as amended by
Chapter 849, H.B. 1188, Acts of 1973.

The only other changes made are in style.
